>people have been studying languages for thousands of years
>still no concrete idea of the best method
There was a concrete method for 5 thousand years, but go ahead and pretend that nobody knew how to learn a language until 1985 when Karen took over the humanities department.

I've asked something along these lines a few times before, but I'll try again. Maybe I'll get some new answers.

Has anyone learned Hebrew, Aramaic, Syriac, & Coptic in that order? How much Hebrew did you have to do before you got to Aramaic? Can you skip Aramaic and just go right into Syriac after Hebrew? How difficult is the jump from Syriac to Coptic? Also has anyone read the Gnostic texts in original Coptic? Does knowing Greek help with Coptic?
